rancer890 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Game 19 vs Aston Villa This is beyond heartbreaking. Our goalie scored an own goal in the 90th minute . 2-2 draw Glass half empty we definately should have won this game Corona scored an own goal... we could have been 11th (Everton, one point ahead, drew Liverpool) the Big Four + Blackburn coming up... Glass half full we get points Miller scored both goals Next: at Old Trafford on New Years Day:( Points above safety: 9pts (18th place Fulham has 14pts) I'll give this challenge a 10:D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rancer890 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 January Transfers We obviously need defense, so I have some offers for season-long loans to stop the leak of goals and to a couple midfielders for depth (Our goalkeeper Corona has been spectacular given the circumstances...)

Glass half empty Malouda 90th minute goal we really should have won our defense we have to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge if I want to go to the 4th round... Glass half full once again, we can compete with Chelsea, at least at home our offense Kenny Miller scored 2 goals Next game: at Home against Liverpool LOL: our first 6 games (with the FA Cup replay) in the new year are against EPL champions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rancer890 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Game 23 at Arsenal Back to reality lol. 4-0 loss. Glass half empty lost by 4 goals... Mears and Magallon banned for next match Magallon's 90th minute red card:mad: Glass half full still in 12th Overall, I think 2 wins, 2 losses, and 2 draws against the EPL Champions in consecutive matches was a success for Derby. I just hope we can emulate this against the mid-table teams.
